“kpop, captivating the pop genre for years, may seem like it’s on its journey to find the real ‘pop’ in the music industry that have been defined as either ballads or dance music at a glance. if you agree on this idea, shinee is definitely a front-runner that leads this movement. every time, without any fears, they’ve been opening doors for entirely new levels and after having reached the limit of being a human with 'everybody’ what they have arrived to is a very shinee-ish stateless world of pop. they are still dancing and singing in a place where nobody dares to covet.”
